My name is Danielle Gersh, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I am a people person. I believe relationships help build trust and I would like to get to know you, so I can better understand what approach fits your needs. I believe different approaches are effective for different folks, since "one size" does not fit all.

Stephen T. Prystash, LMFT. I have been licensed to practice since 1988 and have been in private practice since licensure. Over the years I have found that people are generally programmed toward personal fulfillment (self-actualization). With this in mind, my job is to create a safe, comfortable setting where one can explore their personal story and thus grow toward their potential. The Greek philosopher, Socrates said (500 years before the birth of Christ), "the unexamined life was not worth living." In my view, it is this examination that therapy is about at a root level.

Is your life at crossroads? Are you questioning everything, including what you want to do with your life? Do you know what you actually want to do? Growing up, you, who identify as sensitive, introverted, queer, and/or part of the minority, often felt like you don’t fit in. You learned to survive…becoming what other people wanted. As an adult, you realize you aren’t living the life you wanted. If you are of a minority identity and a young working professional, it is also likely no one prepared you for the transition from school to work.

What everyone does have in common is that they are looking for a better relationship with themselves and others. I understand you because of my experience and I know how to assist you in overcoming your life challenges. You are not alone.

Besides providing psychoeducation and coping skills to help clients manage their symptoms, I devote my work to helping clients explore their ways of transformation and getting closer to their True Self.

How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
